Shower tray repair for Torcross homes

Shower tray repair in Torcross, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and people most often call us about cracks running from the waste and a damaged area around the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Torcross

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chipped corners or rims

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about shower tray repair in Torcross

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Landlord and trade work in Torcross

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Torcross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Torcross?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
